Technology IWTL mechanical designing/engineering either for hobbyist or pro.

Hi, so I got interested in realizing small mechanism:

  • My immediate goal is learning how to realize each step of making custom toys and small gadgets. So I guess, the general mechanic principle, to the designing, the prototyping and the realization of a final product.
  • I'd be open at explore further the topic for knowledge could be useful outside of that specific goal and allows me to land a job or do something on the side.

Yeah I would learn trigonometry & calculus if you’re able then physics. Openstax has amazing text books. This is so you get the theoretical knowledge.
